I thought the bump in the LS3/5a bass response was important to eliminate. This, of course could be room dependent.

I see. If the lower bass is filled, perhaps the bass bump becomes less obvious. (? )

Strangely, I found the opposite.

I perhaps would to, I was even hesitant to open my Chartwells, even though I bought them second hand (in 1987 for £90).
My home-made clones, I purposely made the cabinets a bit larger and with more damping inside. These have superior bass, going down a little lower and with the upper bass peak missing.

That's correct. Adding stuffing lowers Qtc and will reduce the large midbass hump.

Jim Rogers did a sub for the 'JR149'. I think it was available in both Passive & Active versions.. Did an amp fro em as well
Rogers latest bass solution for LS3/5a.

Pricey and not particularly deep, but they use the same bass drivers as the (Rogers) LS3/5a so will probably integrate well.
